Not exact matches

Girding myself for potentially indecipherable jokes, I'm here to see Lackner's potentially world - saving technology: a plastic resin that can capture carbon dioxide directly from the air.

By the 2040s, the Blueprints world sees renewable energy technologies compete on price against fossil fuels, which are well managed with carbon capture and storage.

While ensuring the widespread deployment of carbon capture / storage technology does represent a significant challenge, it is more feasible than other policy options being offered by those who simply don't see any role for coal in our energy future.

(See «Scaling up carbon dioxide capture and storage: From megatons to gigatons,» a 2009 paper by Howard J. Herzog at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for just one of many sobering takes on what's needed.)

I don't see a agronomic technology in his talk that would exceed the carbon capture of preindustrial grasslands.

As recently as the Stern Review in 2006, carbon capture and storage from coal - fired power stations was seen as the most promising clean energy technology on offer.

Adding carbon and capture technology to new coal plants makes electricity from coal more expensive than energy from solar thermal and wind power, even when «firming costs» are included for alternatives (see table).

If carbon capture technologies are seen as more broadly applicable and more important for the fight against climate change, it is more likely that these technologies will get greater research funding.
